Jul and her mother survived the plane flight with baby and dog. I followed a couple days later. We were very well taken care of by Mart, Lew, Meg, and Luke. Nicholas got to spend some good quality time with his aunt and uncle. He also got to meet his cousin Molly.
Here you can see Molly attempting to trade her shovel for a gross slobbery stuffed animal. Yuck. In the end Sumo decided a duck in the mouth was worth more than a shovel in the hand.
